I get this same installation failure Android INSTALL_FAILED_UID_CHANGED and tried deleting my package:

enter image description here

I'm not sure if it was deleted because I tried running my app from Android Studio on my physical device again and get the same error: 

pkg:/data/local/tmp/com.tutecentral.navigationdrawer
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UID_CHANGED]

  • I changed the path to /data/data/com.tutecentral.navigationdrawer for the delete and the cmd line just hangs. How do I ls to check for the directory without rooting my phone? – HukeLau_DABA Jun 29 '14 at 23:57
  • Did you try cleaning the project, uninstalling the app manually or a factory reset if root is not possible? – Kerem Jun 30 '14 at 12:04
  • I cleaned it, uninstalled it. I suspect I'm not really deleting /data/local/tmp/com.tutecentral.navigationdrawer because executing that command in adb just immediately shows the command I just ran, same as if I put in a nonexistent dir like rm -rf dfkjadslj. – HukeLau_DABA Jul 01 '14 at 21:35
  • Is this on linux? If on windows I would recommend starting cmd.exe "as administrator". Otherwise maybe you should temporarily root your device for this case since you can unroot it after you are done with this problem. It is interesting that simply cleaning the project is not enough. http://androidforums.com/galaxy-y-all-things-root/541670-steps-how-root-unroot-features-rooting.html this should be sufficient if you use an external sdcard for relatively quick root/unroot. – Kerem Jul 01 '14 at 21:39
  • Hi mass, thanks for your efforts. I am an administrator when I run adb shell in windows cmd. I am using a Moto G; I read that it cannot be unrooted but ill look into it some more. – HukeLau_DABA Jul 02 '14 at 02:06
